Key Projects News - 2 Jul 2009 RUSSIAN RULING IN INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT DISPUTE On June 26th, the Moscow Court of Arbitration formally validated the decision by the Stockholm Court of Arbitration dating from March 2008 in the case of Dutch architect Erick van Egeraat vs. Russian developer Capital Group Co. over a copyright dispute. The case was much publicized as it dealt with serious copyright issues many international architects face. At the same time, the favorable ruling of the Stockholm Court set a powerful precedent legitimizing Erick van Egeraats' claim that his former client had unlawfully handed over his design to another architect for re-design without his consent. A Russian Court confirming this international ruling against a Russian company and a major player in the business is to be considered exceptional. images © Designed by Erick van Egeraat Erick van Egeraat is very pleased with the decision of the Moscow Court: "this is not only good news for me, but also for my fellow architects. Copyrights are a very important instrument in creating real estate value and indispensible in protecting architects work. Knowing that those rights are properly protected across international borders makes our profession rightfully rewarding!"
